When, I relinquished myself,
I gave up, all my own soul.
I sank deeply, into your-self,
Ice-frozen, I couldn't escape.
How could I move on or cajole
Every part, you'd taken control.
When, I relinquished myself,
There was a drum-beat loud,
It was my heart, losing itself.
Self-control, a bird, disavowed.
A wrecking-ball, fallen from a cloud
With all happiness disallowed.
